Than in any other portion of the
valley. Soil retains moisture, re-
quires less irrigation, and is adapted
to oranges, lemons and all kinds of
deciduous fruits. Adjoins the San
Gabriel Wine Company's great
vineyards, which demonstrate it's
adaptability for vineyard purposes.
Also, adjoins the Alhambra Tract,
highly cultivated, pleasant colony.
MR.. J. DEBARTH SHORB,
President of the San Gabriel Wine
Company, has subdivided five hun.
dred acres of this land in such sized
tracts and lots as to accommodate
all, and offers it at much Jess price
than in many situations in the val
ley, and on very favorable terms;
and especially so to those zOAo desire
TO bnlla houses and make permanent
iubr00emeuts. The railroad facili-
ties at present and those under con-
temptation will make this place very
accessible to the business men who
desire to attend to business in Los
Angeles and at the same time have
pleasant, accessible, healthful
villa home. This is an opportunity
unequaled, and those wishing to
secure the choice of location should
call at once and make their selec-
tion.

Hen M anure.

It is safe to estimate that the
manure from hens is worth at least
one.half the cost of the food, if
properly kept and juaiciously APP
plicd. We know strawberry
grower who states that the man
NE from forty hens doubled his
crop on one acre compared with
another acre not so treated. His
method was to scatter the manure
plentitully over the plants in Jan
uary, before the Spring gowth com
menced. In this way the rains
carried the manure to the roots
a calculation will show that the
value of the manure was greater
than may be supposed He est
mates that he gained 1000 quarts
of berries extra. which gave him a
profit of three cents per quart, with
prices very low. This shows that
from the forty hens he got enough
manure to produce $50 worth OF
Strawberries extra, after paying
expenses of picking, etc, which OF
course represents the value of the
manure at - cents per hen. The
manure is therefore very impor
tant item, and deserves to be in
cluded in the estimate of the poul
try account,as III some cases it may
pay for nearly the whole food con
Sumed.

Thursday, its annual spring reports
of the condition of the crops, gath

shown that the eopious rains of ear
~ June have made an abundant
hay crop an assured fact, with not
the slightest danger of failure. The
hay crop, by all odds the most i'm
portant crop in the state, will eX
ceed in abundance the best crop we
have had for years. But little
grass was winter killed. Stock
wintered well and went to pasture
in good condition. There has been
"A tendency to increase the stock ON
farms and thus ITO sell the bay ON

paid to the breed of horses, and
more colts than formerly are being
raised and trained. The rise in the
price of wool and mutton has en-
couraged sheep raising.

The Farmers (lrish) Ga:ette gives
the following different ways of
treating balky horses, which are
recommended for trial:
FIRST, pat the horse on the neck,
examine him carefully, first one
side, then the other; if you can get
him handful of grass give it to
him, and speak encouragingly to
him. Then jump into the wagon,
and give the word 20, and he will
generally obey. Second, TAX ing
the horse out Of the shafts, and
turning him around in IL circle I'M
til he is giddy, will generally start
him. Third, another way to cure
IA balky horse is, place your hand
over his nose and shut Off his wind
until he wants to go. Fourth, then,
again, take IA couple of turns Of
stout Irvine around the fore legs.
just below the knee, tight enough
for the horse to feel it; tie in bow
knot. At the first click he will
probably 90 dancing OIL. After
going short distance yon can get
out and remove the string, to pre-
vent injury to the tendons. Fifth,
again, You can try the following:
Take the tail Of the horse between
the hind legs, and tie it by cord
to the saddle girth. Sixth, the
last remedy | know, is as follows:
Tie string around the horses ear,
close to the head. This will divert
his attention, and start him.

DOMESTIC TRAGEDY.
A PRINCE EDWARD NAN SHOOTS HIS
WIFE
And then Attempts suicids-The Couple
Pound weltering in Blood
The Cause.
Special telegram to tho Dispatch.l

FARMv1LLE, Va, February l0.-ln-
formation was received here to-day OF
a horrible wife-murder and attempt at
suicide by a white man named Watkins
Dupuy, at Sandy River Church, in this
county, about ten miles from this
place. Early this morning Mr.. q. Z.
Flippin, residing at Sandy River Church,
was aroused by knock at his door,
and. on going to the door, found two
small children of Mr.. Dupuys. The
Oldest of the children was holding pls-
tol, and in reply to Mr.. Flippin's
query Of "What is the matter ?" said
Papa has shot mama and cut his own
throat" After taking the children in
10 the fire, Mr. Flippin went over to
Dupuy's to investigate, and found Du-
pay and his wife weltering in their
blood. Dupuy had shot three times at
his wife-one ball taking effect near the
heart and going ont in the middle OF
the spine. He then cut his own throat,
and, failing to produce death, stabbed
himself in the left side near the heart.
The latest reports say that Dupuy,
though badly wounded, may possibly
recover, but that his wife is MORALLY
wounded. Domestic trouble is said to
be the cause, and the act was probably
done in moment of frenzy but full
particulars have not as yet been re-
ceived. The parties are well knownand
of respectable connection.

Goodman is q trustee of "a school

his schOOlhouse and sat on q
bench inside the door, stating
that he would kill the first man
who entered. He shut Mitchell out
Of the scbool-building because, as
lac stated, Mitchell is not an orthodox
minister Of the Baptist Church, and the
building was 10 be thrown open only to
orthodox preachers. He also threatened
10 smash Mitchell shead, 50 it isalleged.

Settling Down.


NEW YORK, February l0.-Along the
river fronts to-day there was no indica-
zion that any difficulty existed between
the 'longshoremen and the railroad and
steamsbip lines. At the railroad piers
the loading of cars on big floats was
being carried on with regularity, aud at
the coastwise- and southern-po steam
ship companies all evidences of the re-
cent struggle were obliterated. The
steamer City of Atlanta, of the Clyde
Line, which reached her dock Monday,
discharged her cargo yesterday, and Isl
now in the dry-dock being examined
~ to the damage done by the collision
with q schooner off Charleston harbor
on the 18th instant. The superintendent
saws the work of discharging her had
been done quicker than the old hands
would have accomplished it. Police
Captain Murphy said that the strikers
remained in their houses now and
caused no trouble. Everything was as
quiet as before the strike.
A report that the brewers and en-
0ineers were about to strike reached
the vicinity of the piers late in the
afternoon to-day, and in a short time
there were more strikers on the street
corners opposite the docks than were
seen at one time since the 'longshore-
men and freight-handlers ceased work.
The rumor was received with great re-
ioicing by the strikers and wavering
men seemed encouraged. The man
ayers and superintendent of piers and
docks, however, along the whole river
front say most emphatically that they
viii not take back any of their old
hands. They assert that the men they
have now are giving satisfaction, and
under no circumstances would they be
turned away.
